“…International and European Standards have been created for evaluating the health risk to occupational exposure to WBV and HAV (ISO 2631-1:1997, ISO 5349-1:2001, and EU Directive 2002, but FTV exposure has been lumped in with standing WBV exposure. Recently, the transmissibility response to standing vibration exposure at 24 anatomical locations on the feet was captured, and the responses were found to differ between the toes, midfoot and heel regions (Goggins et al, 2019). These findings suggest that in order to model the dynamic response of the foot and understand associated health effects, the foot cannot be treated as a single component and should not be lumped in with the whole body for standing vibration exposure (Subashi et al, 2008).…”

“…Furthermore, the limited number of degrees-of-freedom (DOF) in these models prevent them from describing all the foot resonances evidenced by Goggins et al (2019). Moreover, Rakheja et al (2006) and Muksian and Nash (1974), modelled FTV from a seated position which limits comparisons to standing subjects.…”

Agricultural tractor drivers are subjected to high levels of whole-body vibrations and hand arm vibrations during most part of the farm activities due to unevenness of field surface, uneasy posture, improper workplace design, moving parts of the tractor, and other unavoidable circumstances. The comfort level of the operator inside a dynamic tractor is dependent on the level of vibration generated inside the different human body segments. In the present study, a finite element modeling was proposed to predict vertical vibrations (Z-axis) and frequencies at the different body segments of the seated small tractor operator. The forces required for different controls of the tractor were measured to be used as input parameters in the finite element modeling. The maximum mean forces of the brake (172.8 N) and clutch (153.2 N) were used as the input parameters for the simulation study. The simulated results were validated with the field measured values of vertical accelerations at selected body segments of the operator. The simulation could successfully predict vertical vibrations at selected points of interest (i.e., foot, leg, thigh, lower arm, upper arm, back, and head) except the chest of the body, as the buttock of the operator model was fixed (degree of freedom is equal to zero) in the simulation. The obtained results were compared with the international standards ISO 2631ISO -1 (1985ISO /1997 and ISO 5349-1 (2001) to assess the vibration characteristics at the different body segments of the operator. The foot, leg, lower arm, and upper arm of the operator were subjected to vertical vibration frequencies from 10 to 200 Hz. Most of the resonance of vertical accelerations occurred in one-third octave bands of 20-80 Hz frequencies. The thigh, chest, back, and head of the operator were exposed to vibration frequencies below 40 Hz during field operation. At these parts of the body, the vertical acceleration resonated at lower frequencies, between 2 and 8 Hz.
